In 2018 Brewer and Schacher sued Farner for filing a trademark for the name “Mark Farner’s American Band”. The lawsuit stated that Farner had violated a 2004 agreement, which called for, among other things: that Farner’s first and last names appear in capital letters before a reference to Grand Funk or Grand Funk Railroad, with only the first letters of the band capitalized, and first letters of the words, “former,” “formerly” and “member” also capitalized.
